The plate row before us, arid the infeription upon 
it, fo exactly agree with this account of Fabretti , 
as to leave no doubt of their being the fame with thofe 
deferibed by him. The prelent polfcfior of the plate 
purchafed it at Rome, in January 1720. N. S. At 
which time a fmall brafs label was fixed to it, con- 
taining the following words cut in capital letters, 
EXREGIIS CHRISTINA THESAVRIS; 
which is alfo here exhibited, with a draught of the 
* fame form and fize fubjoined to that of the in- 
feription. It is probable therefore, that this plate 
might have been depofited among the other curio- 
fities of that princefs, foon after it was dug up ; and 
afterwards have fallen into other hands, who affixed 
that label to it ; till at length being expoled to fale, 
it was bought by the Dodtor at the time above 
mentioned. For Queen Chrijlinn died at Rome, April 
the 19, 1689, where fhe had reftded from the year
